Resources and Websites for Erotic Writing and Art?

[Helia]

One of the most frustrating aspects of the modern state of the internet is that it is immensely difficult to find new interesting things, creators or websites out of anything other than sheer luck. The commonly incredibly disjointed nature and oftentimes lack of good search or tagging systems within websites exemplifies this issue.

As far as the erotic space in particular goes, the only websites I am personally familiar with where in the original artists and creators can display their work in a somewhat accessible manner seem to be Hentai Foundry and presumably Fur Affinity from how much I see it mentioned here (twitter is immensely terrible for searching new content or archives).

Almost everything else I have encountered is either a scam website stealing content, has a terrible search and tag system, or otherwise lacks quality content. Not to mention since the content in the games here (and my personal interests) are niches unto themselves, finding any creators making anything similar to things present here feel like an effort in futility.

I am curious if anyone knows any ways to navigate the tumultuous seas. If there are any resources or websites primarily for exploring writing in particular, but perhaps games and artists as well.

I would otherwise love recommendations on artists, developers or writers to support.

For ero-writing I guess you could visit Literotica(if you don't mind ads).

Literotica from my impressions is immensely obtuse to navigate and has a poor search and tagging system, making it extremely difficult to find things. Unlike Foundry, you can't search via media fanwork/original work, and you can't filter or search for specific orientations or interests, nor disable unpleasant things.

The problem with Foundry (presumably since it's primarily for art) is that the search function is flat out broken for stories, and never works properly.

I also don't get the impression that the stories you can find on Literotica are of the same caliber of the writers and works you can find here, and with how archaic the website is, it's immensely difficult to find artists or writers various social media and show them support.

I mind be completely wrong and there might be an amazing writing scene there, but the impression I get is of an old site with very little activity or high quality works/community focus.

Have you tried chyoa.com for erotic stories? It's dedicated to choose your own adventure adult stories. A lot of them have wide breadth with limited depth, but because the site uses the deepest chapter to mark how long a story is you'll rarely start something expecting a huge story only to wind up disappointed at the numerous dead ends. The browse options are great for finding stories with your fetish, although admittedly the search function is less useful. And there's enough active authors to usually result in dozens of stories getting updates throughout the day.

Thank you for the recommendation.
Taking a look at the site, I'm a bit unsure what browse options you might be referring to, as I'm having a frustrating time trying to navigate it.

For some reason, categories like "Fantasy" and "Sci-Fi" are lumped in and exclusive to sexual orientations, you can only search one tag at a time, and you can't search chapter specific tags/niches despite the mass divergence in authors, so you have absolutely no clue what "paths" will present content you will find interesting, and which ones will be wholly unappealing.

I am curious how writers managed to converge to this forum/community in the first place, let alone with the game focusing primarily on things a lot more niche than most. I'm having a very difficult time finding anything similar to what you would find here.

I haven't checked Fur Affinity as of now because I have no strong interest or disinterest in anthropomorphism, only finding the content enjoyable if it has specific characteristics irrelevant to it. But since I find it secondary and not bothersome or distracting, I do wonder if there is any form of positive writing community there, or if the website is connected to how writers coalesced here.

Yeah, Fantasy and SciFi are weird inclusions. But there are plenty of other categories that are fetish based like incest, mind control, and BDSM. You can also sort by chapter depth, how recently it's been updated, pov (1st, 2nd, or 3rd person), and the gender of the pov character.

Apparently there is usually a chapter search function, and it is temporarily disabled. My opinion might change later on.

 

[Helia]

I haven't had any luck sadly. If anyone has any info on communities, how writers managed to coalesce here with niche interests, good resources for discovering new media, or otherwise is able to help me find content and/or creators pertaining to my absurdly specific interests, I would still greatly appreciate it. Irrelevant of the point in time in the future.
